Description

-export <filename>

Export the current authentication chain settings to a file.

If a file name is not specified, then the exported file is named by the current date and time; for example, authcfg-20100421-123425.exp

By default, the file is written to the current directory.

-import <filename>

The existing authentication chain settings are automatically exported to a backup file before the specified settings are imported. The exported backup file is named by the current date and time; for example, authcfg-20100421-123425.exp

By default, the backup file is written to the current directory.

The new imported settings completely overwrite the existing authentication chain settings.

-reset

Reset the authentication chain settings to the original default values.

The existing authentication chain settings are automatically exported to a backup file before they are reset to the default values. The exported backup file is named by the current date and time; for example, authcfg-20100421-123425.exp

By default, the backup file is written to the current directory.

The default settings completely overwrite the existing authentication chain settings.
